Grammar practice
1. An adjective is a part of speech, which modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies. In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:
Some people can be regarded as right and wrong in different societies.
Mr. Smith demonstrated rather irritating manners.
Understanding culture is also a real challenge for international businesses.
The colors of the picture are dark and dank.
You become aware of a particular behavior but have not yet tried to do it yourself?
Cultural conditioning is present in every culture, but the specific behaviors that people have, the precise content of their conditioning, is different from group to group.

Some nouns, many pronouns, and many participle phrases can also act as adjectives.
In the sentence “Eleanor listened to the muffled sounds of the radio hidden under her pillow.
for example, both highlighted adjectives are past participles.
Grammarians also consider articles ("the," "a," "an") to be adjectives.
Adjectives can be simple, compound and derivative. Simple adjectives have no suffixes.
For ex.: small маленький, short короткий, red красный, black черный.
Derivative or compound adjectives have either suffixes or prefixes or both.
The most widely spread are negative prefixes: un and in. They give an opposite meaning
to the word: happy- счастливый, unhappy- несчастный, known- известный, unknown-неизвестный,legal-законный, illegal незаконный и.т.д.
Some adjectives end in –ed and have the same form as the past participle of a verb (e.g. thrilled, relieved, terrified). They are used to describe people’s feeling. The adjectives normally follow be or other verbs like feel, seem, look etc.)
She was excited going to the theatre.
The both looked astonished, when they heard the news.
He seemed to be very depressed.

Read the text for general understanding Find the topic sentence in each paragraph. Pay special attention to the word combinations in bold. Define the main idea. Think of the title to the text.
(A) A cultured person can be someone who is well-read in books, who has watched and engaged with classic films, has a refined appreciation for art, etc. To be cultured is also to be educated about the world and its languages, to understand world politics and be well-read in world history. Above all, a cultured person is one who is interested in culture and engages in culture.
Read more.A large part of culture comes from books, as they have existed for a longer time than most other media. The obvious thing to do would be to read classic books, but if you're a first-time-reader, this will be daunting and uninteresting.
Start backwards. Choose a genre that you have genuine interest in, such as fantasy or romantic fiction. Research the best books of that genre as judged by book enthusiasts, and read them. You may want to look up books in other genres which may catch your fancy while you're at it. If there is a genre you are not sure about, try it and you might actually enjoy it.
After you feel you've become reasonably well-read in your genre, expand your variety and also read some classic or recommended books. You will understand the books of the past more after reading books of present culture, and you'll find you enjoy them more, too.
Subscribe to a magazine which deals with a subject like literature, the arts, drama or music or a mixture thereof. Read articles from this magazine on a regular schedule. One a week, two a month, or whatever your schedule will allow. Follow leads presented by the articles you read. Every once in awhile one of the articles you read will inspire you to go further with a subject. If you read a great article about Mozart, take the article to a store where you can buy CDs and ask the counter attendant to direct you to some Mozart CDs that you might like. Buy a few or borrow some from the library, take them home and listen. If you read an article about an artist who sounds interesting, look online to find out which museums feature paintings by this artist. Then plan a visit! Maybe you will read about a play or a musical. Scan your newspaper and see if a local college or high school is showing this play soon and buy tickets.
